Eastwood is a place within the civil parish of Todmorden and Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale, in West Yorkshire, England. It lies west from Halifax, roughly equidistant from Todmorden's town centre, which is to the southwest, and Hebden Bridge, which is 2 miles to the northeast, along the course of the River Calder. Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, sources suggest that Eastwood's name was almost certainly taken from the Eastwoode family, who were local landowners active from the 13th to 17th centuries. Eastwood Old Hall is the former seat of this family, and remains as a landmark and manorhouse within the locality ==History== The earliest reference for Eastwood is in 1286 when it was called ''"Estwoode"''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eastwood Home Page )〕 The name was almost certainly taken from the Eastwoode family who owned local land from the 13th to 17th centuries,〔 and lived in Eastwood Old Hall. In the 19th century, Eastwood was an important (and relatively wealthy) habitation with a considerable amount of industry, supported by its own railway station, which was used to support local mill workers and industrialists travel to towns as far as Rochdale and Manchester.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eastwood Station and Eastwood School )〕 Though today a small hamlet, Eastwood once contained its own school, chapel and cricket team. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eastwood, West Yorkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
